RESEARCH STRATEGIES FOR RICE IMPROVEMENT DR. P.VIVEKANANDAN DEAN (Retired) TAMIL NADU AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY
Why Rice? • Four-fifths of rice produced is consumed by small-scale farmers in most developing countries. • Supplies over seventy percent of their daily calories/protein intake. • Consumed by 5.6 billion people world wide. • Unlike wheat and maize 80 percent of rice is consumed by people. • Contains large amounts of calories, high protein content, high utilization process (vitamin digestion and absorption). • Contains vitamin A, zinc and iron.
Rice Cultivation • Rice is cultivated and eaten mostly in the “rice bowl” region, which consists of Asia and middle/near east countries. • Rice has been cultivated over nine thousand years i.e., is highly variable and adaptable. • Grown in the lowlands of India to as high as three thousand meters in Nepal.
FACTS – WORLD SCENARIO • Staple food for 21% of world population • Cultivated in 114 countries across 6 continents • 92% of rice is produced and consumed in Asia • Largest area in India (44.5 m ha)followed by China (30.2 m ha) • It is expected that 60% more rice should be produced in 2030 than in 1995 • Area 158.8 m ha; milled rice production 483.9 m t (2016-17) • Thailand exports about 7.6 million tonnes a year. Vietnam is second, with 3.7 million tonnes. • Highest productivity in Egypt (10t/ha) and Australia (8.2 t/ha).
FACTS - INDIAN SCENARIO • Staple food for 65% of the total population. • Constitutes 52% of total food grain production. • Area 44.5 m ha; milled rice production 106.5 m t (2016-17) • Productivity 3.77 t/ha. • Varieties 632, Hybrids 17 • Basmati export 8.47 m t. • Largest area and production in WB & UP
Eco-System wise rice in India Area Production
FACTS – TAMIL NADU SCENARIO • Area 17.3 lakh ha; Production 71.2 lakh tons.(2013-14) • Productivity 4.12 t/ha. • Paddy accounted for 34.0% of the total cropped area in the state (2005-06). • High productivity in Dindugal & Erode districts. • Rice is cultivated in varied climatic, soil and stress conditions. • Major area is in Thaladi / Pishanam seasons.
High Productivity Districts (> 2,500 Kg/ha.)@ @Triennium average for the years 1998-99, 1999-2000 and 2000-01

COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION OF HETEROSIS • Increased vigour of F1 over parents • Stable male sterility System • Crossability - Seed set • Fertility Restoration • Reliable and Economic Seed Production
TO INCREASE OUT CROSSING RATE • Spikelets Male : Female (1: 3) • Density of effective pollen 10/m2 • Complete exertion of panicle • Short and narrow flag leaf • Female parent should be shorter than male parent
CORH3 (TNRH 87) • 2006 release • 115 days duration • Yield : 6.5 t/ha (24% over ADT 43) • Medium slender, White rice • Tolerant to Blast and RTD • Resistant to GLH • Non aromatic, non sticky • Synchronized flowering of parents

GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESSFUL SEED PRODUCTION • Seed and Pollen parents with synchronized anthesis • Seed parent with long exerted stigma, longer duration and wide angle of flower opening • Pollen parent with high residual pollen • Optimum row ratio • Use of GA3 • Supplementary Pollination • Selection of appropriate season
THREE STEPS IN HYBRID RICE SEED PRODUCTION Multiplication of cms line (A/B) Multiplication of B & R lines Production of hybrid seed (A/R)
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS • High seed yield in dry season • Daily mean temperature 24 - 30°c • Day – night temperature difference 8 - 10°c • Sunshine and wind velocity • Free from rain for 7-10 days at flowering
ISOLATION • Space isolation : 100m • Time isolation : 25 days • Barrier isolation : • Vegetative barrier- Sesbania • Mechanical barrier - Plastic sheet – 2 mts in height
SEEDS AND SOWING (CORH3) • Male sterile line - 125 days (20 kg/ha • Restorer line - 125 days (10 kg/ha) • Nursery - 30 cents (1kg/cent)
STAGGERED SOWING OF PARENTS • ‘R’ line to be divided into three equal parts and to be sown first • Second sowing of R line on 3rd day of sowing • Third sowing of R line and entire A line on 6th day of sowing
TRANSPLANTING • Female : Male ratio … 8 : 2 seedling / hill • A line …one (2 to 3 tillers) • R line … two – three Spacing • A line … 10 x 15 cm • R line … 30 x 15 cm • A & R lines … 20 cm • Age of seedling … 25 days
SYNCHRONISATION Flowering duration • A line … 8 to 12 days • R line … 6 to 8 days • A line to flower one to two days earlier than R line • 2% urea delay flowering • 2% DAP hasten flowering
GA3 APPLICATION • 75 g/ha (45g/ha at 20% flowering, 30g/ha 24 hrs after first spray) • Higher dose (150 g/ha) increases seed yield • Spray between 8 to 10 am or 4 to 6 pm • Enhances panicle and stigma exertion • Increases effective tillers, flag leaf angle and grain weight • Reduces ill filled grains enhances seed set and seed yield
